About the Airtac PE Tee Connector PE10D
The PE10D is an AirTAC PE series one-touch union tee, a three-port tube-to-tube fitting with no thread at all. All three ports accept Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing: one run through the body and a 90 degree branch, so a single supply line can be split into two without any threaded adapter in between. The D suffix gives the fitting a black body; on the PE series this changes the body itself, unlike on the PC and POC straight connectors where black affects only the release button.
Push each tube into its port and the stainless spring gasket and chuck grip it for a seal rated 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2) working pressure, -750 mmHg (10 Torr) vacuum and 1.5 MPa proof pressure, usable from -20 to +70 C. Pressing the POM release ring frees the tube again for rework. Threaded ports arrive with sealant, but because the PE has none, sealing here depends entirely on the NBR O-ring seat around the tube, so cut the tubing square.

Fitting & Sealing Notes
- check Cut the tube square and clean before pushing it home, or the seal will leak.
- check Push until it stops, then pull back to check the chuck has gripped.
- check To release, press the collet ring fully in and pull the tube out.
- check Threaded parts arrive with sealant on the thread; M5 sizes use a sealing gasket.
- check Match the tube OD exactly - a 6 mm fitting will not hold 1/4" tube.
Where the Airtac PE Tee Connector PE10D Is Used
Twin suction-cup pick head
On an electronics pick-and-place head, the PE10D splits one -750 mmHg vacuum drop line into two Dia 10 branches feeding a pair of suction cups, keeping the run all-tube with no threaded joint to leak at the wrist.
Packaging machine branch supply
On a carton-sealing conveyor, one Dia 10 drop from the FRL manifold tees into two branch lines: one to the flap-tucking cylinder, one to the blow-off nozzle, with the PE10D doing the split mid-run.
Robot gripper manifold leg
On a robotic assembly cell, the PE10D tee sits in the Dia 10 line ahead of a gripper jaw pair, letting the two jaw cylinders share one drop while staying inside the tight dress-pack routing envelope.
Is the Airtac PE Tee Connector PE10D the Right Part?
The PE ladder steps 8, 10, 12, so the PE10D sits between PE8 below and PE12 above. Stepping down to PE8 suits lighter loads on narrower bore and gives you a Dia 8 branch; stepping up to PE12 carries more volume per metre of run, which matters on longer feed lines where the tube bore, not the fitting, sets the flow capacity. There is no Dia 16 step above PE12 in this catalogue, so Dia 12 is the top of the union tee ladder.
Tube OD must match exactly: a PE10D port will not hold 3/8in or 12mm tube, only true Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane. If you need to change bore at the tee, that is a job for a PEG or PEW different-diameter tee instead, or a PKG reducer branch union. If one leg of the branch has to reach a threaded port, use a PEB male branch tee or PED male run tee rather than a union plus a separate connector.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Tube outside diameter matches exactly
- ✓ Thread size and standard match the port
- ✓ Working pressure within 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2)
- ✓ Temperature within -20 to +70 °C
Airtac PE Tee Connector PE10D FAQ
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), vacuum down to -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. All three ports take Dia 10 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing and the fitting is the all-tube PE union tee shape with no thread. At the top of that range the tubing, not the fitting, is usually the limiting factor.
D marks the black colour option. On the PE union tee it is the body that comes in black, which helps the fitting disappear against dark machine frames or aluminium extrusion; performance is identical to the grey PE10. And yes, the tube is fully releasable: press the POM release ring squarely toward the body and the chuck lets go of the Dia 10 tube so it can be pulled out and reworked. AirTAC publishes no cycle count for releases, so treat repeated re-use of the same tube end as a consumable decision and trim a few millimetres off before reinserting.
